 So you want Google to find your webpage.

After all, why build a webpage if it is just going to sit in the lonely corners of the webosphere?

Basically, my entire "enterprise" is built on getting pages to rank in the search engines. There's a term for it. We call it "Search Engine Optimization", or SEO.

Set your watch.  In about 15 minutes, I am going to turn you into an SEO Guru.

The New Pareto's Principle for The Internet Marketer

Ok, so I've been promising this article since before Thanksgiving.  I have got to sit down and actually write it.


I'll warn you, its a long one, but I've been doing some mega-research, and well, there's no way around its length.  But hey, its your browser, so skim it for the stuff that YOU find interesting.


Maybe if I add some pictures of Jedi and some kittens you will keep reading, yes?


If you can't tell by now, Pareto's Principle - the 80/20 rule - fascinates me (Quite frankly, I think there is an entire book hiding in it) . It's so simple to understand, and you can use it to both predict the rate of future growth of your business, as well as to discover the best areas where your business can grow further. (More on that in a minute)


The 80/20 rule is the closest thing I have found to a shortcut in this - or pretty much any - business.

The Pareto Principle is all Wrong

But it turns out that, for the internet marketer, the 80/20 rule may no longer be an accurate way to determine the growth of internet websites.
